OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE


Today we honor our Blessed Mother with the title, 'Our Lady of Guadalupe', Patroness of the Americas. She is the one who will save this lost country, knowing what is happening to it at the present time. We have socialists to our north in Canada, and socialists to our south with Mexico, and our beloved country is rapidly becoming the same with this current administration, thanks to all of the idiots who put it there.
Our Lady of Guadalupe

In 1531 a "Lady from Heaven" appeared to a humble Native American, Juan Diego, at Tepeyac, a hill northwest of what is now Mexico City.
She identified herself as the ever virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the True God for whom we live, of the Creator of all things, Lord of heaven and the earth.
She made a request for a church to be built on the site, and submitted her wish to the local Bishop. When the Bishop hesitated, and requested her for a sign, the Mother of God obeyed without delay or question to the Church's local Bishop, and sent her native messenger to the top of the hill in mid-December to gather an assorment of roses for the Bishop.

After complying to the Bishop's request for a sign, She also left for us an image of herself imprinted miraculously on the native's tilma, a poor quality cactus-cloth, which should have deteriorated in 20 years but shows no sign of decay 480 years later and still defies all scientific explanations of its origin. It apparently even reflects in Her eyes what was in front of her in 1531.

Her message of love and compassion, and her universal promise of help and protection to all mankind, as well as the story of the apparitions, are described in the "Nican Mopohua", a 16th century document written in the native Nahuatl language. There is reason to believe that at Tepeyac Mary came in her glorified body, and her actual physical hands rearranged the roses in Juan Diego’s tilma, which makes this apparition very special. Also, as something that only Heaven can do; the stars on the tilma are arranged in such an order that they are as if seen from Heaven. There are many other things about it; such as, the times about the end things, what will happen.
An incredible list of miracles, cures and interventions are attributed to Her. Altogether 25 popes have officially honored Our Lady of Guadalupe.

The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated on December 12th. In 1999, Pope John Paul II, in his homily from the Solemn Mass at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, during his third visit to the sanctuary, declared the date of December the 12th as a Liturgical Holy Day for the whole continent.
During the same visit Pope John Paul II entrusted the cause of life to her loving protection, and placed under her motherly care the innocent lives of children, especially those who are in danger of not being born. At least he did something which was probably pleasing to the Almighty.
